Synopsis: 

olhAR-TE interFACE (Look at YOU interFACE) represents the process and ongoing transformation of our projected vision of the future, mediated by digitalisation and the transmutation of technological experience through its interaction with the interface. It constitutes a movement that converts organic visual perception into digits, binary codes, and algorithms — elements capable of processing, measuring, and controlling this new way of seeing for the common good.

This is a post-human vision of transgression, which questions how we visualise ourselves within digital environments, exploring the future conditions of the human being and their relationship with interfaces. The work proposes narrative speculations that articulate the interFACE WORLD, the interFACE BEING, and the interFACE CREA-ture, enabling a perspective that crosses and transgresses boundaries between human/machine/technology, time/space, artificial/real. In doing so, new ways of creating communication codes and forging alternative visualisations of the environment — artificial and virtual landscapes — emerge.
